Black Excellence: Denise Crittendon
Denise Crittendon is an Afrofuturist. A Dreamer. A Creator of new and enchanting Black worlds. In her debut novel, Where It Rains In Color (Angry Robot Books, December 2022) she unveils Swazembi, a glitzy resort planet of floating colors and bizarre tourist attractions. Before conjuring up this paradise, she was a journalist for at least three decades, covering crime, politics, social issues and human-interest stories as a staff writer for The Detroit News and The Kansas City Star.
